Patent CA-2372423-C (CA)
Inventor: SHARMA DUSHYANT
IPC: G06F40/00
Filed: 2001-03-29
Granted: 2012-06-12
Abstract: L'invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés de présentation et de paiement de factures électroniques (EBPP) utilisant un modèle commun de document/données afin de répondre aux intérêts et aux préférences des fournisseurs, des clients, des institutions financières, d'autres organisations EBPP et autres, dans le contexte spécifique de la présentation et du paiement de factures électroniques et, plus généralement, du commerce électronique. Le modèle commun de document/données permet au fournisseur d'impartir les activités de facturation à l'organisation EBPP, tout en gardant le contrôle sur les informations de facturation, ou comment et où les factures sont présentées. Les fournisseurs sont incités à utiliser ce système car cela leur permet d'éviter les dépenses et les efforts nécessaires pour la création d'un système interne adapté, et de profiter des mêmes avantages d'un système interne tout en optimisant l'expertise d'une organisation EBPP externe traitant avec plusieurs industries et clients, dans différents lieux géographiques et domaines financiers. Ces systèmes offrent également aux fournisseurs des possibilités accrues pour établir des relations avec les marques et les clients, que les systèmes de facturation sur papier ne permettent pas. Les clients sont encouragés à utiliser le système car il leur permet de payer toutes leurs factures, ou du moins la plupart, en un seul endroit de leur choix, les factures étant présentées comme ils le souhaitent, mais aussi de communiquer plus efficacement avec les fournisseurs en cas de problèmes, plutôt que de perdre énormément de temps au téléphone en essayant de trouver une solution avec des personnes non renseignées, comme c'est souvent le cas avec des systèmes de facturation sur papier où les données importantes ne semblent jamais parvenir au personnel du service clientèle du fournisseur. Il en résulte une présence constante du système EBPP qui simplifie la vie de tout le monde en réduisant l'émission de factures et les charges dues aux paiements.

Title: System for pressure testing tubing
Inventor: PATEL DINESH R
IPC: E21B47/117
Filed: 2002-03-01
Granted: 2006-12-05
Abstract: The present invention relates to a valve system that may be used to pressure test tubing, such as a tubing string deployed in a wellbore for the production of fluids.      The tubing string is suspended within a wellbore and includes a valve system having a valve that enables flow of fluid into a hollow interior of the tubing string during downward movement of the tubing string into the well.      However, the valve is moved to a closed position at selected locations within the wellbore to enable pressurization within the tubing during pressure testing. Once the pressure testing is completed and the tubing string is deployed within the wellbore, the valve can be retained in an open position to enable flow within the tubing string.

Abstract: Apparatus is provided for introducing a consistent series of small and localized rotary impacts to a PDC bit during drilling, to improve PDC  drill bit performance. Rotary impact supplements the nominal torque supplied by the rotary drive thereby avoiding lockup and potentially damaging energy storage in the drill string following windup, should the bit slow or hang up when drilling in difficult formations. The apparatus comprises a rotary hammer which is rotated about a bit shaft's anvil, preferably by a drilling fluid driven turbine. As the hammer rotates, potential energy is built up. When the hammer and anvil connect, the energy is released into the bit shaft and thus into the bit, increases its instantaneous torque and allows it to more effectively cut through difficult formations.

Granted: 2009-10-06
Abstract: An apparatus for controlling the movement of a specimen in order to handle the specimen, e. g. , a cell, easily and quickly with high accuracy. A standing wave vibration (V) having at least one node (N1, N2) is generated in a vibrator (11). A specimen in a medium (30) is captured at a position in the vicinity of the surface of the node (N1, N2) and then turned in this position. The capturing position of the specimen (S) is altered through variable control of the vibration mode of the standing wave vibration (V), and the moving route, moving speed, or rotational speed of the specimen (S) is controlled as desired through variable control of the vibration parameters (e.g., frequency, amplitude, intermittent frequency) of the standing wave vibration (V).

Title: Pressure sensitive mat with breathing tube apparatus
Inventor: FITZGERALD SANFORD G
IPC: H01H35/26
Filed: 2001-02-23
Granted: 2008-01-08
Abstract: This invention relates generally to patient monitoring systems and more particularly concerns devices and systems used to monitor bed patients in hospital or other care-giving environments. In accordance with a first aspect of the instant invention, there is provided a pressure sensitive mat which has been completely sealed around its exterior edges. The interior of the mat is kept in communication with the atmosphere by way of a section of flexible tubing which encloses the attached electrical line. One end of the tubing is sealed inside of the mat and the other end is open to the atmosphere, thereby providing a passageway for air to reach the interior of the mat. This arrangement, however, protects the interior of the mat from exposure to fluids near the perimeter of the mat and allows the mat-portion of the invention to be completely submersed without adverse effect, if that should become necessary.

Patent CA-2429017-C (CA)
Inventor: MACK JOHN J
IPC: E21B17/06
Filed: 2001-11-08
Granted: 2007-08-21
Abstract: A submersible pump assembly (11) has a release adapter (17) on a string of coiled tubing (19). Power cables (31) and a hydraulic capillary tube (33) extend through the coiled tubing to the release adapter where each terminates at a coupling. The release adapter has a locking mechanism (41) that is located in a chamber (39) adjacent to a fishing neck at the upper end of the pump. The locking mechanism has a collet that is latched to the fishing neck.  A piston captures the collet against the neck, and is restrained from movement by shear pins. The locking mechanism is actuated from the surface by pumping hydraulic fluid down through the capillary tube to the chamber to stroke the piston downward and shear the pins. As the coiled tubing lifts the release adapter away from the fishing neck, tension develops in the wires and tubing until those components detach from their respective couplings.
